Desk Pads Custom

Size is measured in inches (except for Banners).

Your artwork must be submitted in this size plus bleed. For more information please go to Bleed & Safe Area.

If your product includes folding, this is the size before folding.

Catalogs/Magazines and Calendars are not considered folded products. Their size refers to one page.

Each paper we offer is a good choice for the product. You often have the option between lighter and heavier papers. Papers also come with different coatings.

For more information, see our Paper Guide.

Note that some papers increase production time, as listed in Turnaround Times.

Select the number of pages per block here.

After printing, the page number you have selected will be counted correspondingly. After every counted set, a stable, unprinted backing is inserted (machine-made cardboard). The block is subsequently glued with a professional special adhesive to ensure a firm binding.

You can select an optional grip hole for your printed object here.

The protective strip prevents bent corners.

For extra protection, choose a transparent protective strip with a rigid foil insert. This superior protective strip provides extra stability.

Applying the protective strip:
Remove the adhesive backing and glue the strip on the reverse of the desk pad. Then fold over the protective strip to the front. We recommend putting a weight on the protective for several days.

Select the position where the sheets will be glued here. You can choose between glueing at the top, at the bottom, on the left or right.

Which side is at the top depends on the text direction of the document. Usually, the text direction is from left to right so that the product would be glued at the top.

With the "glued left" option, the glue strip is positioned on the left depending on the text direction

Attention!
It does not matter whether the PDF document or the artwork were rotated using third party software. The text direction alone determines the position.

A high-performance glue is applied manually to hold the pages together.

Production time depends on the product. You can find production times for this category in the description below (including additional turnaround times).

The quantity you select here is for one design only. To print several artworks you must add several items to the cart.
